Starting next reboot, the four invoker 'touch' spells (*) will only improve during combat (like a weapon, only much faster), and will do so at a higher rate than they do currently. This should permit lowbie invokers (**) to master them through use, instead of by standing around a guild.

In somewhat related news, Charge Weapon can now improve if someone with the spell discharges a weapon in combat. Previously, it only checked at the moment of casting (and still does that too).

(*): Acidic Secretion, Channel Heat, Frost Fingers, and Shocking Touch.

(**): Even those who neglect the handy Affinity button.
